Behind the Lens For the past thirteen years in the photography business, I have seen fads come and go. Regardless of these fads, my goal is to capture inner emotion by seeking to learn, listen, and see my subject. My career is very fulfilling as I meet new and unique people everyday. It is my job to portray how unique you are! Corey Rourke Photography is a full service studio. Our goal is to give our clients the very best product we can provide and make our clients proud of their images.
As a senior about to graduate, you want images that really represent the person that you have become. These images can really highlight your personality and your unique self. We pride ourselves on making you comfortable and most yourself. You will see that we offer many options and there are equally as many variables that determine what will work best for you. I would be happy to set up an appointment to make sure you are getting exactly what you need for your images.

Take a Look After the shoot is over, the next step is to come into the studio to review the images. When coming to look at the images, we will have a slideshow projection for you and your parents to view the images. Here are a couple steps we ask you to take before coming in for your viewing appointment: Send a picture of the space where you are going to place a senior wall portrait. This could be in your home next to other senior images throughout the years or the only senior you will have displayed above the couch in the living room. This helps to have an idea of what image option would look best in the space you want. Make a list of the people you want to give senior images. This could include grandparents, aunts and uncles, family friends, classmates, etc. Think about specific sizes for each of these people. When considering classmates and friends, really think about the number of wallet images that would work for you.
